Femme Fatale

I saw these photos of seventies actress and party fixture Christa Helm on Sighs & Whispers and was immediately smitten by both her cat and her collection of cheesy cut crystal objects. So amazing! Unfortunately Christa was brutally murdered in a Hollywood parking lot at the age of 28. Her purse, which was missing at the scene of the crime, was said to contain a "love diary" which chronicled her expoits with various leading men. A cover-up is rumored and her case remains unsolved. You can read the full story here. There is also an incredibly comprehensive blog devoted to her case.
